Automatic Boot Disk redirector?

Whenever an external drive is plugged into my PC, the BIOS gets all 
confused and it rearranges the boot order of the drives. You then have 
to go into the BIOS setup and rearrange them back, which is a temporary 
solution until you don't connect external drive and you have to do it 
all over again. Or use the BIOS's boot device chooser which is even more 
temporary.

What I'd like to know is if there is some kind of automatic boot sector 
manager that can be put onto non-boot disks and redirect the boot 
towards the right disk?
